WEEK TWO: New Japan Pro-Wrestling’s World Tag League & Best of the Super Jr.27

During the second week of World Tag League and Best of the Super Juniors we saw some amazing matches with the league tables starting to see clear front runners in both tournaments.  

In World Tag League we saw IWGP Heavyweight Tag Team Champions Zack Sabre Jr and Taichi put on some of the best matches of the week, while other standouts included L.I.J. team Shingo Takagi and SANADA along with Bullet Club veterans Tama Tonga and Tanga Loa.

On the Best of the Super Juniors side of this past week has seen almost everyone knocked it out of the park, with high quality matches up and down the card, standouts include Hiromu Takahashi, El Desperado, Robbie Eagles and surprisingly, due to being on zero points, DOUKI.
